clarkwgriswold Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 The Zips host the 13-12 Rockets at the JAR on Valentine's Day. The Rockets come off of a 78-58 home win over Portage County Community College. Toledo has a nice trio of scorers with 6-3 senior guard Jonathan Williams (20.3 ppg), 6-9 senior forward Steve Taylor, Jr. (15.7) and 6-4 sophomore guard Jaylen Sanford (14.2). The Rockets have had some impressive wins, close losses and some perplexing defeats. Quote
LZIp Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Still can't believe Willie Jackson chose THAT program. I wonder if he sees the standings and is already regretting his decision. Quote
kreed5120 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 If I remember right one of the big reasons he choose Toledo was he wanted to go somewhere to be the guy. Dambrot runs a team oriented offense that doesn't cater to any 1 single player. Personally, I don't want a player thats biggest concern is how many shots and points he gets per game. Quote
NWAkron Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 We won't see Nick Dials on the bench this year since UT coach fired him end of last year. I remember a few years ago they took it to us at home and beat us twice in one season. See this game as tougher than the Ravenna game. Quote

1981 grad Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Besides a win, there are certain things I would like to see tonight from the Zips. I would like to see Utomi have another double figure game. Give him some extended playing time and see what he does with it. Would like him to score from the inside. Defense- KD indicates that this team is going to play better defense. Maybe this will be the game our guards will stop the dribble drive penetration off the high screens. Kwan- I think Kwan has gotten away from his inside game. Would like to see Kwan penetrate and dish or score around the basket. Do not rely only on the 3 ball. Poke and the bench. KD want to play the bench more but indicates we give up offense. Dunn Martin can penetrate and feed the Poke. Love watching the dunks! Need to get solid play from the bench so the starters do not go 30 plus minutes. Big Dogs buzzer beater on the big screen with Titanic Music And yes, a double digit win! Go Zips! 2 Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Game day excitement is reaching a boiling point in Toledo. And I thought the aging of our board was sad... Rock on, Rockets. Quote
K92 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 I think you may have linked the wrong page. I think the aging of our board is distinguished. Quote

But did you have to pick the oldest imaginable picture of the Eagles that you could find? I had clothes like that. I'm really feeling old now. I'm just glad you didn't show the bottoms of their pants. Edited February 14, 2017 by skip-zip Quote
